Chlorine bleach
dispenser
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid
chlorine bleach before it reaches your
wash load. To use, follow these steps:
1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach careful-
ly, following the instructions on the bot-
tle.
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before
adding the load. Avoid splashing or
over-filling the dispenser. Wipe up
spills.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine
bleach directly onto the load or into
the wash tub. It is a powerful chemi-
cal and can cause fabric damage,
such as tearing or color loss, if not
used properly.
• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-
chlorine bleach, pour it into the wash
tub with your detergent. Do not pour
non-chlorine bleaches into the
bleach dispenser.

PERATING TIPS
Fabric softener
dispenser
This dispenser automatically releases liq-
uid fabric softener at the proper time dur-
ing the cycle. To use, follow these steps:
1. Pour liquid fabric softener into the dis-
penser using the amount recommend-
ed on the package.
2. Add warm water to the dispenser until
it reaches the MAX line. Wipe up
spills.
• Do not stop the washer during the
first spin. This will cause the dis-
penser to empty too soon.
• Never pour fabric softener directly
on the load. It will leave spots and
stains.
• Use the dispenser for liquid fabric
softeners only. Clean the area in and
around the dispenser frequently with
hot water, detergent and a soft
brush.
Pour liquid fabric softener into cup and dilute with
warm water. Pour liquid chlorine bleach into bleach dispenser.
For detailed information on sorting, pretreating stains, etc., see the enclosed Laundry Tips booklet.
Detergent
• Use either liquid or granular laundry
detergent. For best results, be sure
detergent is added to the washer
BEFORE the load and be sure wash
water is above 65˚ F.
• Use the correct amount of detergent
for the load size, soil level and water
conditions. Use more detergent if you
have hard water and/or very soiled
loads.
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled
load, use less detergent. (See manu-
facturer’s instructions.)
• Wipe up any detergent spills on the
washer.
Add detergent before the load.
